在3个实验中，这篇文章比较了偷听者如何解释第二个说话者对对话的贡献，这取决于第二个说话者是否立即对第一个说话者做出反应;暂停并做出反应;说嗯并做出反应;或者说嗯，暂停，然后做出反应。测试的对话片段是脱稿的，而且是多样化的;其中一个交流的例子是，“你是因为平权行动而来到这里的吗？”（停顿，嗯，或者两者兼而有之）“它帮了我一点忙。”旁听者认为发言者在表达上有更多的困难，不那么诚实，当发言者说嗯或停顿时，他们对正在讨论的话题不太舒服，甚至两者都有。对这些数据最好的解释是，对于每个被问到的问题，旁听者都在判断说话者产生预期或意外延迟的含义。
In 3 experiments, this article compares how overhearers interpreted second speakers’ contributions to a conversation depending on whether the second speaker responded to a first speaker immediately; paused and responded; said um and responded; or said um, paused, and then responded. The conversational snippets tested were unscripted and diverse; an example of one exchange is, “Are you here because of affirmative action?” (pause, um, or both) “It helped me out a little bit.” Overhearers thought speakers had more production difficulty, were less honest, and were less comfortable with topics under discussion when speakers either said um or paused, and even more so with both. The best explanation for the data is that overhearers are judging, for each question asked, what it means for speakers to produce an anticipated or an unanticipated delay.
